Abstract
The present document describes a method of producing sulfur particles by injecting an unbroken stream of molten sulfur under a pulsation free pressure, from a distance, into tempered water moving at a velocity, to produce a physical reaction of said molten sulfur with said tempered water to produce sulfur particles. Also described are sulfur particles produced by the process and methods of using the same for fertilizing soil.
Claims22
A method of soil treatment comprising the step of contacting a soil with a suspension comprising up to about 10% w/w of spherical sulfur particles of less than 45 microns in size, with a mean granule size of approximately 20-30 μm, said spherical sulfur particles being produced from injecting an unbroken stream of a molten sulfur under a pulsation free pressure of from about 3447.38 kPa to about 20684.27 kPa, from a distance of about 30 to about 101 mm, into a tempered water moving at velocity, to produce a physical reaction of said molten sulfur with said tempered water to produce said sulfur particles.
